Did you know that giants are easier to fight than ants?

Don’t wish it was easier. Easier is boring. You will have more fun facing giants than stomping ants. — Joy E.

Why are you scared of giants?

Their enormous size right? But size is not a guarantee for success.

Big folks have lost to small folks in fights time and time again for us to know — that size is not all that matters.

In fact, big folks' heights might be a disadvantage to them.

  1. Giants are unsteady on their feet due to their high centre of gravity. There are more overturned trailers than sportscars.
  2. Most giants have acromegaly, which is what makes them big, but it’s a condition associated with poor eyesight so that’s another weak point in a fight.
  3. Most giants are poorly skilled. They have their might and might alone and so if a task requires threading a needle, a giant is bound to fail, all it knows is how to whack at stuff.

What’s my point?

You didn’t really think this post was about physically large people right?
